15 Canucks Are On Track To Hit Games-Played Milestones During 2026–27 Season

A total of six Canucks are slated to hit the 100-game mark during the 2026–27 season. The first in line to do so is defenceman Elias Pettersson , who needs only two more games to get to 100. If all goes as planned, this could mean he reaches the mark as early as Vancouver 's home-opener against the Edmonton Oilers on October 1.

After Pettersson on the 100-game trail is Liam Öhgren, who will hit the milestone in his third game of the season — the earliest being October 3 versus the Calgary Flames . Max Sasson is next, with five games to play in before reaching 100 in his career. If he plays in all of Vancouver's first five games of the year, he'll hit the mark on October 8 against the Carolina Hurricanes .

Three of Vancouver's young defencemen are also within striking distance of 100 career games. Zeev Buium is currently the closest of the three with 24 to go, with the earliest date of reaching the milestone being November 19 against the Seattle Kraken . Tom Willander is next, requiring 30 games in 2026–27 to hit a career-total of 100. He could hit this mark as early as December 1 against the Washington Capitals .
